This course was designed by Jack Nicklaus's architecture firm and opened in 2011, in a lakefront residential development outside the Quad Cities. The course was purchased by two local businessmen, Mike Thoms and Larry Whitty, who are already working with course staff to plan some major improvements, following several years of mismanagement and legal problems involving former owner, Todd Raufeisen.

One of the rare Nicklaus-affiliated courses that is open to the public, the standard rates (with cart) are $59 on weekdays, $70 on weekends (carts are $15/person). Walking is permitted only after 4:00 pm.
